The thing about Nori is that he's described as being involved in "dubious and probably illegal" activities. So his look strikes me as some kind of con-man who's all primped up trying to look his best but still comes across as kind of shady.

Did the singing of the Dwarves make anyone else's hair stand on end? It was... wow. And the effects look good, as do the costumes and stuff, as does everything else. Oh, and there's Cate Blanchett in it, so I'm happy.
